About Developer · **Released**: 08-17-2010

I made this mod after being requested at my forum by a user and thorught to share it here as well in case other users will find a use for it as well

http://www.forumservices.eu/showthre...-hack-from-Ipb

ANyway this hack will allow you to show the first post to guests and hide the rest. You can enable and disable from the Acp where you can add the message that you want to be displayed to guests instead of the post. You can also choose forums to be excluded from the hide post limit.

The mod is not supported.

A new version that shouldn''t afefct spiders can be downloaded at my forum. Support for the mod is also provided there.

The mod is free. However registration is required to download it.

This would be an extremely great mod if it could be coded to not hurt SEO

I would much prefer to use this mod instead on another however the spider thing is what stopped me.

One thing though with enabling spiders that you say you have done. A Google spider may see post #2 or 3 and it gets listed in Google search but when a person clicks on the Google link they can't see the post, only the first one. This could cause your site to be black banned by Google...am I correct in assuming this?

Does this work with VBSEO?

I don''t see how that is possible. At least from what I know this won''t cost the site to be black banned by google of by any other search engine.

Thank you for the translation. The file is added at the first post.

Would it still work with SEO if only the second post in a thread were seen with the message?

Having a long list of posts in a large thread seems like a lot of hits on the DB when just one message displayed with the message would do.

Excellent
5 Stars bro

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
